It's so sad. I wonder how far along in the seminary he was

The man has been identified as Brian Bergkamp, 24, a native of Garden Plain who was scheduled to enter his third year of theology study at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Md., this fall. - See more at: http://aleteia.org/blogs/deacon-greg-kandra/prayer-request-missing-seminarian/#sthash.BFRJFTR4.dpuf

As of 8 days ago anyway, Seminarian Brian Bergkamp's body still has not been found, unless there is an update I have missed.

"The circumstances of Bergkamp's death show that he knew the depth of what it meant to be a Christian and a priest, Msgr. Baker said.

"It was self-giving love," he explained. "He didn't have to think twice before he acted (to save another's life)."

Seminarians and the entire Mount St. Mary's community were taking Bergkamp's death "very hard," the priest added.

Life on this side of heaven is full of mysteries, contradictions and ironies, (Bishop Carl) Kemme said. "Brian's untimely death is full of these mysteries, which must wait until heaven to be solved."
